RTW – Phase II. If continued medical restrictions prevent the employee from returning to the preinjury position, the employee shall continue in the Return to Work Program until Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) and/or permanent restrictions are reached. After the initial thirty (30) days of temporary assignment the employee will be detailed to a job classification that most accurately reflects the duties they will be performing. Wage losses attributable to assignment to a modified duty assignment or due to restrictions that reduce time at work will be paid at the temporary partial disability rate, in accordance with the Workers’ Compensation Act. If at any time during this Program the employee does not follow the work restrictions of the physician or refuses a light duty temporary assignment, they will be removed from the program.
